Marvel: The Sole Player
Chapter 438: I can’t tell them apart, I really can’t tell them apart!
Chapter 438: Chapter 438: I can’t tell them apart, I really can’t tell them apart!
Wanda looked at the scene before her, and her brain completely crashed.
A perfectly normal family daily sitcom suddenly took a sharp turn in style, turning directly into a sci-fi action blockbuster.
Her husband, Darian, was currently floating in mid-air, claiming to be Omni-Man sent by an alien empire to conquer Earth.
This feeling was just like the kindergarten director from Crayon Shin-chan turning into a Marine Admiral, Maruko’s Grandpa turning into One-Punch Superman, Plankton turning into a Universe Emperor, and Patrick Star turning into Majin Buu.
It was just so damn absurd!
In the void, the energy of Chaos Magic flickered in and out of existence, as if repeatedly confirming something.
A moment later, it reached a conclusion.
Darian did not tamper with any basic settings; he just pushed downward along the original plot framework.
Although this direction was very absurd, from the perspective of the settings, it seemed to make complete sense.
This was just like a programmer discovering an obvious loophole, but the entire system not only didn’t crash, it could even continue running.
Whatever, as long as this lousy bug can run, who cares.
The energy of Chaos Magic flickered slightly, and then dissipated into the air.
Darian sensed the retreat of Chaos Magic, and the curve of his lips turned upward a few more degrees.
As expected, this kind of operation would not trigger the repair mechanism.
As long as he did not destroy the basic settings, no matter how he wrote the script, Chaos Magic could not interfere with him.
Hehehe, Chaos Magic is so much fun!
At this, Darian became even more unscrupulous.
He floated in mid-air and reached out his hand to Wanda: "Wanda, join me. With the strength of the two of us, no force in the entire Earth can stop us. We can rule this Planet together."
Wanda’s lips trembled, and her voice floated: "Darian, you’re joking with me, right? You are a superhero protecting Earth, how could you be Omni-Man of some alien empire?"
Darian smiled contemptuously: "It seems you still haven’t figured out the situation. The identity of a superhero is just a disguise I made to integrate into this Planet."
"As for protecting Earth, I protect my Earth, isn’t this a matter of course?"
Wanda looked at Darian, who was completely different from usual, and her thoughts became chaotic.
She no longer knew which one was real.
I can’t tell them apart, I really can’t tell them apart!
Just when Wanda was at a loss, Pietro blocked in front of Wanda, raised his hand to point at Darian’s nose, and cursed loudly: "I saw long ago that you were not a good thing, insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless, rat-faced and sneaky, beast in human skin..."
He cursed for several hundred words in one breath, getting more and more heated as he cursed, and his spit was almost going to fly onto Darian’s face.
Darian slightly narrowed his eyes.
This line was not in the script they had discussed.
"I’rather telling you, as long as I am still standing, don’t even think about making a move on Earth!"
Pietro raised his chin and shouted a standard hot-blooded shonen manga male protagonist line.
Before his voice fell, his whole person turned into a residual shadow and disappeared from the spot again.
In the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of Darian, and taking advantage of the huge inertia brought by high-speed sprinting, his whole body rose into the air and punched heavily on Darian’s face.
Boom!!
The force of this punch was not light, and a dull sound exploded in the room.
Although the two had agreed in advance to act out a fight scene, this punch obviously carried some personal grievances.
During this period of time, Pietro had suffered a lot because of Darian, plus his family’s cabbage was coaxed away by this guy, so with such a good opportunity placed in front of him, of course he had to take fierce revenge.
Pietro chuckled inwardly, but his face remained righteous.
"Don’t blame me, Darian, this is all for the performance effect. Wanda can only believe it if it’s acted a bit more realistically."
Darian was blasted flying backwards by this punch, and his body drew an arc in mid-air.
But he forcibly twisted his waist midway, slammed his feet fiercely into the ground, dragged out two deep outlines, and forcibly unloaded the impact force on his body.
He slowly stood straight, the red mark on his cheek slowly fading, and the corner of his mouth hooked into a sarcastic arc.
"You don’t even have the strength to hit people, yet you have the nerve to say you are a superhero."
As his voice fell, his eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light.
Two scorching lightning rays shot out from his pupils, carrying a sizzling current sound, and blasted straight toward Pietro.
Pietro felt a wave of heat rushing toward his face, and his scalp tingled for a while.
He hurriedly dodged aside, and the two golden lightning bolts smashed heavily onto his original position, directly blasting out a charred pit, with thin smoke still rising from the edges.
If this attack fell on him, he would probably be seriously injured if not dead.
Gulp!
Pietro turned his head to look at that pit, and couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"No way, are you playing for real?"
Before he had time to think more, his eyes suddenly blurred, and Darian’s figure disappeared from the spot.
The next second, Darian had already appeared in front of him, his right fist raised high, carrying terrifying wind pressure, and smashed down right at Pietro’s face.
Fortunately, Pietro had gone through hellish training during this period of time; before his brain could react, his body had already moved first.
The superpower instantly activated, and the entire World around him suddenly slowed down, almost as if it were still.
Darian’s actions also slowed down. Pietro moved two steps to the side, easily dodging his fist and circling to his side.
Looking at that face frozen in mid-air, Pietro couldn’t help grinning. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂
"No matter how strong you are, don’t even think about touching a single hair of mine."
Pietro hummed smugly, and was about to take the opportunity to sneak behind Darian to throw another punch when his peripheral vision suddenly caught something, and his entire body froze instantly.
Darian’s eyeballs were slowly rotating.
The pupils that were originally looking forward were now turning bit by bit, finally locking onto his figure dead on.
Pietro: (...)
"I want to report! There is a cheater here!"
Before he had time to digest this absurd picture, Darian’s movements suddenly accelerated.
Changing from almost completely still to a slow-motion shot wasn’t very fast in Pietro’s eyes, but this in itself was scary enough.
He had never encountered anyone who could move within his own domain, let alone someone whose speed was so fast.
Under shock, Pietro could only dodge in panic, looking exceptionally disheveled.
After continuously dodging several rounds of attacks, Pietro gradually adapted to the rhythm.
Seeing a gap in Darian’s punching, he pushed hard against Darian’s chest with both hands, trying to pull away the distance.
Super Armor!
Darian activated his skill, ignored Pietro’s thrust, and pushed back hard in reverse.
Pietro only felt a terrifying force surge over, and his entire person instantly flew backwards out of control, slamming heavily against the living room wall, falling to the ground, and his vision went black for a while.
Before he could catch his breath, a foot stepped onto his chest, pressing him firmly to the ground.
Pietro raised his head. Darian was looking down at him condescendingly, golden light flowing in his eyes, the corners of his mouth grinning to both sides, revealing a nuclear-friendly smile that made people’s hair stand on end.
"Keep running, aren’t you quite good at running?"
Pietro broke out in cold sweat.
What happened to agreeing on acting?
How come this guy looks just like he’s truly turned dark.
Pietro wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that the force on his chest was getting stronger and stronger, pressing him so hard that he couldn’t speak at all. His sternum made an unbearable cracking sound, and vaguely he saw his long-deceased parents waving at him.
Just as Pietro started his near-death experience, a crimson red light lit up at his chest, supporting Darian’s downward-pressing sole.
"Hmm?"
Darian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Wanda aside.
Wanda’s hands were glowing with red light, her ten fingers trembling slightly, and her teeth clenched tightly: "Darian, let go of Pietro!"
Darian withdrew his foot, took a step back, and his voice deepened: "Wanda, even you want to stop me?"
"Stop while you can, Darian."
Wanda looked at Darian, her face full of pain and struggle.
Darian subconsciously glanced outside the window.
Well, there was no Police outside, nor Jack.
Wanda spoke with a tone close to begging: "We can find a place and continue to live a peaceful life. We don’t need to care about Earth, we don’t need to care about alien empires, we don’t need to care about anything. Just the two of us, like before, okay?"
Hearing this, the smile on Darian’s face became even brighter.
She believed it!
Hahaha, she believed it!
Darian decided to put in a little more effort and give Wanda something even harsher.
He put away his smile, and his expression turned cold: "There’s no going back. I have my mission. This is the belief I pursue all my life. Conquering this Planet and establishing a new order is the meaning of my existence."
Wanda’s eye sockets instantly turned red: "Then your love for me... is it also fake?"
Darian’s eyes flickered slightly.
He was silent for a few seconds and gently sighed: "I do love you, Wanda, but to me, you are more like a pet."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze instantly.
Pietro’s mouth formed an O shape.
"Awesome, you even dare to say such words out loud, I respect you as a man."
With his understanding of his own sister, he could already imagine what reaction Wanda would have.
Sure enough.
Hearing this sentence, Wanda did not explode, but instead fell into an eerie silence.
"You said... I am your pet?"
Wanda’s expression gradually calmed down.
Like the sea before a storm arrives, the calmer it is, the more terrifying it is.
Darian felt a strong magic fluctuation surging on Wanda, much stronger than the Chaos Magic unconsciously emitted by Wanda last time.
The reality around them began to flicker.
The furniture in the room sometimes became retro and sometimes modern. The styles of different eras were switching crazily, as if someone was holding a remote control and changing channels randomly.
Darian blinked his eyes.
"Uh, this effect seems a bit over-powered."
"Wanda?"
Darian tentatively called out.
Wanda did not answer.
She slowly raised her head, and her eyes had completely turned crimson red.
Following that, her body began to rise, and her feet left the ground.
The house automatically decomposed and turned into powder scattering around. She rose all the way to high altitude, and crimson red energy surged out from her body, spreading wantonly in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the space of the entire fictional World was dyed into a bloody red.
Darian looked at this exaggerated scene and couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
He pulled off a big stunt for Wanda, but it seemed to have gotten himself somewhat killed.
Darian dry-coughed and said awkwardly: "Uhm... Wanda, I suddenly feel that killing and fighting is meaningless, living a peaceful life is also pretty good."
Wanda didn’t take up his words, but slowly raised her hand.
Without any warning, a powerful crimson energy swept over, covering the sky and Earth, as if it wanted to crush everything to pieces.
Feeling the terrifying pressure rushing towards his face, Darian didn’t dare to be careless, and immediately released the magic he had recently learned.
"Iron Body... bah, Protection Spell!"
In an instant, a layer of golden translucent armor appeared around Darian, with dense runes flowing on the surface.
This was the superior magic of the Protection Spell, and its defense effect was much stronger than the Protection Spell.
Moreover, this magic could not only be applied to oneself, but also to others.
However, the specific defense strength of the Protection Spell depended on the magic level of the caster. If the caster was strong enough, even a nuclear explosion could be resisted.
As soon as the golden rune armor was formed, the crimson energy collided against it.
Boom—!
The moment the two collided, the surrounding air was squeezed to make a popping sound, the ground cracked inch by inch, and broken stones were swept into the sky by the air wave.
Darian was pushed by this force to slide back over a hundred meters before barely stopping his figure.
He lowered his head and glanced at the Protection Spell on his body. The surface of the golden armor was already covered in cracks, and it would probably shatter after a few more identical attacks.
"Wanda, if I said this was all a script, would you believe it?"
Darian tried to initiate peace talks.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat her, mainly because this guy never hit women.
Wanda floated in mid-air, crimson energy slowly flowing around her body. Hearing this, she tilted her head and showed him a gentle smile.
"What script? Do you mean the script where you play my husband and we play games together at night?"
Darian’s heart skipped a beat.
He tentatively asked: "Wanda, did you recover your memory?"
Wanda blinked, her expression very innocent: "What memory? I don’t understand what you’re talking about, my dear husband."
Darian:...
It was hammered down; Wanda definitely recovered her memory.
Darian said with a straight face: "Wanda, I can explain. Actually, I was passive. My consciousness was controlled by Chaos Magic, and I had no idea what I was doing."
Wanda:...
"Bullshit, don’t I know whether you were controlled or not?"
However, what truly made her angry wasn’t this matter.
After all, she had initiated this matter herself and enjoyed it, so she couldn’t blame others.
What truly irritated her was Darian’s tough attitude the moment he pulled up his pants.
As the saying goes, a hundred days of grace for a day as husband and wife, and adding up all these days, they had at least thousands of days of grace.
As a result, this scumbag completely ignored their relationship and actually had the heart to make up such an absurd script to stimulate her, not to mention that line that almost drove her crazy.
Thinking of this, Wanda became even angrier.
She simply stopped talking, buried her head, and outputted madly toward Darian, just wanting to beat this damned scumbag to death.
"Pietro, hurry up and help me explain..."
Seeing that Wanda completely refused to listen to explanations, Darian hurriedly turned his head to look for Pietro’s trace, only to find that the other party had long since vanished without a trace.
As expected of a speedster, even running away was much faster than others.
Pietro not only ran away himself, but also took the opportunity to evacuate the residents of the entire town, bringing them all out of this area.
Now Wanda had recovered her memory, and the original restrictions were lifted; there was no need to follow any rules anymore.
Snap!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Protection Spell on Darian’s body finally couldn’t withstand the damage and shattered directly.
He turned his head and saw Wanda wearing a gentle smile on her face, walking toward him step by step.
"Darling, is there anything else you want to say?"
"There is."
Darian looked at Wanda with a deep and affectionate expression and began reciting the classic movie scripture: "Once upon a time, a sincere love was placed in front of me, and I did not cherish it. When I lost it..."
But before he finished speaking, the red light filling the sky instantly rushed toward his face.
Scumbag, knocked out!
